Answer 1

You're clueless about what you're talking about. Turks aren't Mongolians and that man was probably a mixture of  chauvinism  and  imbecility.

Answer 2

I've read many fantastic stories about the grave of Cengiz Han and believe me, it's all bullshit. Rise of the Turkish Empire? Haha I admit that would be nice to see but there is a tiny, little problem. Cengiz Han in his life time, killed more Turks than any other enemy force did. I doubt he would use his new laser emitting eyes and anti-law of gravity qualities to resurrect the Turkish Empire. Instead, I believe he'd be on his little Mongolian horse pursuing new barbarities.

p.s. The Mongols and Turks are not the 'same' race, they do have/ or rather did have some time ago, similarities since they both emerged from the same place and since they are 'relatives'. The Turks, later on, assimilated most of the successors of Cengiz Han in the West. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagatai_Kh...

Why are you going to search for the grave for the treasure :)  I'll say yes if you take me along as your guide.  Indiana Jones.
